What use _he_ has for it God only knows.

I've the worst forebodings, but somehow I'm strangely without passion--desperately calm.

As I consider the unconscious, the well-meaning ravages of our appreciative circle I bow my head in submission to some great natural, some universal accident; I'm rendered almost indifferent, in fact quite gay (ha-ha!) by the sense of immitigable fate.

Lady Augusta promises me to trace the precious object and let me have it through the post by the time Paraday's well enough to play his part with it.

The last evidence is that her maid did give it to his lordship's valet.
